Sermon clips from Cape Town churches

41s
“If we walk in the light as he is in the light, what happens? We think we're gonna lose fellowship. We actually have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his son, cleanses us from all sin. Where does the blood of Jesus cleanse and heal us? Where does that come through? Light. So the very thing we do in hiding keeps us in bondage. And so one of the Christian principles that we've got to learn is actually light, and it goes so against our culture because, let's be honest, we live in Kenan Barbiedom. This is Southern California. You can't live here unless you're good looking. I don't know why they let me in.”
41s
“"One attack on the motor neuron, one attack on the motor neuron can paralyze the entire body. They are all interconnected. One life you infuse through your brain cells can revitalize the entire body. If the spirit of him that raised up Christ dwells in you, he that raised up Christ shall revitalize your mortal bodies. How? I know the Holy Ghost for one thing. He comes upon his people."”
49s
“Something is unlocked for us as we bring our sins into the light. God does something supernatural, and it sometimes it just breaks something of the power of sin that's kept us in the dark and kept us in bondage. And so God's calling Adam, Adam, where are you? And God's trying to call us out of the dark, but we stay in the dark, even in a building, even in a church, even in a home group. We hide parts of our lives, and God says, I'm light. Come on. You gotta be like me, not like the world. Stop letting the world define how you see you need to react. That way leads to death. My way leads to life. Confess your sins and you'll have the very thing you long for, true fellowship. Confess your sins and you'll have your healing, but you've got to bring it out.”
41s
“And in some ways, when Jesus comes in, maybe he's coming to the main hall of your life. And you're like, oh, everything's changed. And he's like, okay. There's many rooms in your heart, and I wanna take every single one of them. And so I'm I'm here now, and I'm I I am the resident spirit. I am the one who lives in you, but there's areas in you that are still in bondage. There's areas in you that you haven't broken through from, and so I'm gonna stop knocking on those doors. I wanna start I wanna get every part of you. The Bible says, God by his spirit is is he's actually jealous. Christ died for all of me, not part of me.”
38s
“And this is a picture of what the world in sin does to us. It takes something of what we made in the image of God, and it begins to twist us and break us, and we start to perish, we start to die, and that dying starts to affect not just us, but everything that we do. It affects our relationships. It affects our emotions. It affects everything. Sin is terrible because it breaks and it corrupts and it destroys us. But we're called to escape those things. We're called to get free of those things and to be made new into the image of the one who called us.”
33s
#PresenceOverPerformance
“This is about a relationship. It's not just about something we can imagine if I took my wife out on a date, and the point was, sit her down for twenty five minutes and say, okay, I'm giving you twenty five minutes. I've got a busy day. And I'm gonna, you know, sit and I'm gonna and I'm not actually gonna listen to her. I'm not gonna I'm just gonna and then I'm gonna get up, maybe read a letter she read me while I'm sitting with her, and then I'm gonna and then I'm gonna get up and I'm just gonna stop my day, like, oh yeah, by the way, no, it's about knowing him.”
42s
#KnowGodPersonally
“And so there is a sense that Christianity is about a relationship, it's about actually knowing God, not knowing about God. I know about God, but I know God. I hear his voice. He woke me up this morning. 03:00, he's got this terrible way of waking me up in the middle of the night. And I'll tell you just now what he said to me. But it's like I walk with him day by day. On the way of this morning, both my wife and I were driving and we were just singing and there was a sense of the Lord was with us. We've both us, such a sense of his presence with us in the car. In the pre meeting, I sensed his presence with us, we heard him speak, it's knowing him.”
58s
“"Salvation is cool. But the question is, which mind do you have? Some of you have unrenewed mind. Some of you have a darkened mind. Some of you have a renewing mind. Some of you have a mind that has been renewed. And some of you have the mind of Christ. The question is, in the lists of these minds that I've listed, unrenewed mind, renewing mind, a dark mind, and a renewed mind, and the mind of Christ. Which one do you have? Because whichever mind that you have is what controls and transmits electrical pulses, electrical powers, electrical energy, either power or life or death into your neurons."”
81s
“"How do we develop a godly mind? How do we develop the mind of the spirit, the mind of life, the mind of power, the mind of health, the mind of sound? Mind. It is in the secret place of discipline of our bodies. Carrying your body in the secret place of the most high. It is only in the secret place of the most high that the shadow of the almighty covers the mind. The energies, the presence, the light, the radiance of the almighty begins to surge through the brain cells to heal the mind, to heal the urges, to heal your kidneys, to heal your bloodstreams, to heal your capillaries, to heal your red blood cells, to heal your white blood cells, to heal your kidneys, your liver, your pancreas, your veins, your arteries, your intestines, your joints, your marrows, your bones."”
57s
“"So that's why you can repair any organ of your body through the law of meditation. God told Joshua, he said, this book of the law should not depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate day and night. So what happens when we meditate? Meditation is when we articulate a certain mind that ought to govern the dimension of the human brain cells. So the external influences plunge into your brain cells. They only ascend into the realm of your mind to create energies that will soon be absorbed by your brain cells and then communicated and distributed to every organ of your body."”
